  • Microsoft Edge
  • Firefox
  • Chrome
  • Safari
• Application to install: No
• Designed for use on mobile devices: No
• Service interface: Yes
• User support accessibility: WCAG 2.2 AA
• Description of service interface: The service interface on a Palo Alto firewall and Panorama is a dedicated, out‑of‑band port used exclusively for administrative access and control‑plane functions. It handles tasks such as GUI/CLI access, licensing, updates, and communication with Panorama. It operates with its own routing table, separate from the data plane, and does not process user traffic. Designed for security and isolation, it allows administrators to manage the firewall even when data‑plane interfaces are down, supporting reliable monitoring and maintenance.
• Accessibility standards: WCAG 2.2 AA
• Accessibility testing: Palo Alto Networks aligns with WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards by integrating accessibility features into the core platform's development lifecycle. The interface is optimised for keyboard-only navigation, allowing administrators with motor impairments to manage security policies and view dashboards without the use of a mouse. To support vision-impaired users, the service interface utilises ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) labels, which enable screen readers like JAWS or NVDA to accurately describe complex elements such as AI-driven charts and policy tables. The platform also adheres to strict colour contrast requirements, ensuring that high-severity security alerts remain distinguishable through more than just colour-coded indicators. ; ; Palo Alto Networks maintains transparency regarding these features by providing a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) report upon request, which details exactly how meets Section 508 and WCAG requirements.
• API: Yes
• What users can and can't do using the API: The XML API offers extensive functionality for configuring, operating, and monitoring the platform programmatically. The management CLI and Web UI are clients of the XML API itself, with this design approach ensuring that any action or function available in those modes are also available in the XML API.; ; Users with administrative privileges can fully configure every aspect of the platform, including network and security policies, using the XML API. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) ensures that only authorised keys can be used for specific functions, enhancing security and access control.; ; Additionally, the XML API seamlessly integrates with external libraries, such as Terraform and Ansible. This integration allows users to automate platform management tasks within existing workflows, streamlining operations and enhancing efficiency.; ; In summary, the XML API provides a powerful mechanism for users to programmatically configure, operate, and monitor the platform, offering extensive capabilities for automation and integration into existing workflows.

Operational security

• Configuration and change management standard: Supplier-defined controls
• Configuration and change management approach: All service configuration changes follow an ITIL-based Change Control Process. Requests must be logged via the KHIPU Supportdesk and submitted by authorised personnel only. Each change is assessed for technical suitability, security risks, and service impact. Findings are clearly communicated to the customer, who makes the final decision to proceed, including consideration of any commercial implications. This process ensures a full audit trail and that all aspects of the change are reviewed before implementation.
• Vulnerability management type: Supplier-defined controls
• Vulnerability management approach: KHIPU uses continuous scanning tools like Tenable Nessus and Qualys to identify vulnerabilities across servers, applications, and networks. Findings are assessed using CVSSv3 and prioritised from Low to Critical. Asset and service owners remediate issues with critical/high vulnerabilities within 14 days of discovery. The process includes identification, classification, remediation, and verification, with reports provided within five business days post-remediation. Threat intelligence is sourced from vendor advisories, industry platforms, and external feeds, ensuring timely updates and compliance with ISO27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus. This proactive, risk-based approach enables rapid response and strong security across all services.
• Protective monitoring type: Supplier-defined controls
• Protective monitoring approach: KHIPU provides 24x7x365 protective monitoring via its Security and Network Operations Centre using Cyber Managed Detection and Response (CMDR). Servers, firewalls, and critical assets are continuously monitored for abnormal behaviour, trend anomalies, and suspicious logs. Potential compromises trigger real-time alerts, followed by immediate triage, severity validation, and escalation to technical teams. Customers are informed through agreed channels. Response times meet strict SLAs: critical within one hour, high within two, and medium/low within four. This proactive approach, combining automated monitoring, early indicators, and structured escalation, ensures rapid detection and resolution while maintaining compliance and service integrity.
• Incident management type: Supplier-defined controls
• Incident management approach: KHIPU’s approach to incident management is ITIL-aligned and prioritises rapid resolution. ; ; Customers log incidents via telephone, email or support portal with required details. Cases are categorised by priority in agreement with the customer:; P1 – Urgent: Critical outages or major incidents requiring immediate attention ; P2 – High: Significant issues affecting functionality, not completely halting operations.; P3 – Medium: Moderate impact, e.g. warnings or non-critical alerts.; P4 – Low: Minor issues, or informational requests with negligible operational impact.; ; Service-affecting incidents are escalated to 2nd/3rd line teams and account/technical managers. Escalation procedures and SLAs are provided during onboarding, ensuring transparency and accountability.
